A BIG SUIT DECIDED.
The Rights of Directors of Min.
ing Corporations TO Dis.
pose OF the Capifal stock

1 ing corporations to Dis
pose OF the Capital stock
Thursday, September 18th, Judge
Wilson of San Francisco rendered a
judgment in favor of the defendant
for costs in the case of the Excel
sior Water and Mining Company
VS.. j. p. Pierce. The action was
brought to recover 5000, 900 with
interest from defendant as an ex-
director of the plaintiff. The plain
tiff alleges that while the defendant
was director it declared dividends
amounting to 1851 ,692 and it claims
that as there was no surplus profits
arising from the mine the directors
violated Section 800 of the Civil
Code, which prohibits the directors of
corporations from paying dividends
except from the surplus receipts.
Judge Wilson in his decision stated
that while that construction was
perfectly applicable to ordinary
corporations it did not apply in the
case, where the mining corporation
was of fictitious value and was
mere speculation which lasted as
long as there was any hope of the
mine becoming successful, and when
it did not the directors were able by
a vote to pay to the share holders
any part of the original investment
out of the capital stock.

The late Governor Bartlett had a
love affair early in life and, not be-
ing able to marry the one of his az
fections, he has always remained
true to her. At the time Washing
ton Bartlett was young journalist
IN Tallahassee, Florida, the OBJ
ject of his affection was Miss An
nette Bucket, so the romantic story
goes, his cousin, and now promi-
nent doctress in Oakland. She
had scruples against being united
in matrimony to her first cousin
and the love affair was consequently
never contaminated. Each drifted
his or her way though never widely
separated, he to end his career as
Governor of the State of California,
and she to build up a lucrative med
ical practice in Oakland. During
his last illness she was his constant,
affectionate medical attendant, aud
she was by his bedside when he
died.

document was read to the jury. II
was a contract given by Mrs. Os-
born to Eugene Pierce, agreeing to
pay 81 in lnstallments, at given
dates, the piano to revert to Pierce
if the payments were not made.
EUGENE PIERCE
Testified that he made the contract
with Osborn. The payments were
not made at the time specified, but
he extended the time. There was
but SIS due. Witness delivered
the contract to Mr.. Fox, the same
day of the trouble. There was no
written assignment on the paper at
the time of transferring it to Fox.

John 6. Fox, the defendent, be-
ing duly sworn, testified that he
went to the house on Sept. 18th,
and told Mrs. Osborn that / wanted
to collect the balance due on the
piano, and as the contract wasn't
completed 1 proposed to take it out
of the piano. / had another bill for
goods had delivered, but she flew
into such a passion that I had no
time to present it. She then pro-
posed to dismiss me, and sat down
on the sofa. / then gave her the
contract to read. She read it
through from top to bottom, and
the moment she got to the bottom
she placed her hands behind her
and tried to tear the paper. I held
her hands to keep them apart, and
she began to scream murder and
help. I held her hands to keep
them apart. / supposed of course
when l grabbed her hands that she
would drop it and not make scene.
/ thought that then / must secure
the paper or she might make out a
case against me and charge me
with something else. The paper I
considered my only protection.
told Mrs. Sullivan to take it, and 1
let 60 at once. I never saw the
lady before.
Cross examined.-I did not tell
Mrs. Osborn who I was; I was a
total stranger to her; the young
Miss knew me; I suppose she
would tell her mother; / use no
bill heads, as am not doing bust
ness in my own name now; the
contract I showed Mrs. Osborn did
not bear my name. When l held
the contract up she grabbed it, and
put it behind her. The balance
was to be used in helping my &C
count.
The paper was crumpled up
when she had it in her hand and
not folded as Mrs. Sullivan testifies.
I brought suit and got out attach
ment papers next morning
